I was wondering if we could have maybe a couple more types of map generation in /gen.

Maybe one that resembles how the Beta world looks and another called Ruins?

Thankyouuu

I do have some unfinished code for "ruins" already, I'll finish that one of these days. As for "Beta looking" terrain - that's a whole lot of work, and I've been doing some research in the area. But there's nothing definite planned for "Beta looking" terrain at this time.

Don't forget the cacti on desert templates! =')

Is it possible to make one with canyon theme, like someone made by hand on the server?

It's doable with the fully-featured map generator in ConfigGUI, just play with the settings some.

Wait what? You're saying I didn't have to do it manually?
*Downloading*

would it be possible to have a /Genx command which does pretty much what the map generator in configGUI does?

So you could do /Genx Template 128 128 128 Module1 Module2 Module2... filename.

for example: /genx swamp 128 128 128 caves water trees ore beaches Jonty800.fcm

There are 49 different parameters in MapGeneratorArgs. Imagine writing a command handler that covers it all - with input validation and range checks, in-game and wiki documentation. Imagine typing in that command. It's utterly impractical.

A more realistic way to handle this would be to add ability to load MapGenerator template files (.ftpl) or grab parameters that are already embedded in map metadata (map.Metadata["_Origin","GeneratorParams"]) to re-generate something.

It wouldn't fit in the chat bar either.

Nevermind then

Everything fits in the chat bar, you do know about line continuation, right?

It's confusing and weird. Tell me more

If you end your message with " /" (that's space+slash) and press enter, it'll allow you to type another line for the same message/command.
will print
You can use /nvm to discard partial messages.

To add onto that, /nvm either is or is due to be analagous to /cancel, so that either may be used for one another.

Yeah it's confusing, It lets me add it on but it posts the partial message then the rest including the partial again.

It prints.

nvm I though it was posting the message but i just noticed it says "Partial" and not "Planitia"
